Things that are often overlooked by human behavior are the bad things about us that we may do. For example, Stephen King mentions the concept of a “sick” joke. He says that even though the joke is bad and it can come from anyone, like a 10 year old, people may find the joke funny or laugh and grin at it. This is because the joke brings out the worst in us and our human behavior. The joke becomes very appealing to us because humans are not used to hearing those words and we find it interesting because of how it brings out the dark side of us or our insanity

Many things about our human behavior are overlooked. But especially how we do it. Today, we have different technologies that we can create things on. One important thing is about ourselves and how we can trick anybody on the internet by lying. Garner says that we lie more online because it is much easier and it takes less effort to do. But older studies from other people say that if we do it online rather than in speech with others, that online words are there much longer than conversation.

Like the study about LinkedIn, people would lie less than on a paper resume because their profile is visible to more people.
